in the volga river in minutes claiming almost one hundred thirteen lives. the operation to raise the sunken bulgaria has begun hopefully providing on says the grieving relatives and investigators will bring you all the details from the recovery site in just a moment. and broadcasting live from russia's capital moscow this is our taste really glad to have you with us let's get right to your top story. eight out of ninety one european banks have failed stress tests designed to ensure they can withstand another financial crisis five of those are in spain the country commonly seen as the next week is the link in the euro zone on friday italy passed seventy billion euro of public spending cuts to slash its whopping it budget deficit. and with the

euro sinking this week our keys and so are first reports on why the future of the single currency doesn't look so bright anymore. as the crowds gather favorite things in the bag battle continue dark times could now lie hate. everybody. is afraid for their future if you think countries like italy looking on increasingly unstable ground come here i write out this financial storm this is really something quite frankly if indeed italy really goes into big trouble on the financial markets this is certainly a totally new face of the euro crisis. the mention here it varies how little too appealing countries trip save themselves for biting picky seattle now many left requesting taking the bait with. the bad

i mean the product exposed to all this follows. after more than a decade of great businesses like that this is being hit hard both think straight and athens is still bustling with problems with the economy means that many businesses here in greece simply got on. communing the year in many european prices many of the members which we could colonies it didn't mean european wages if one fought through another year of skeptics who wanted danger from the start they have become the unlikely hero in this tale just who the hell do you think you people are you are very very dangerous people indeed your obsession with creating this euro state means that you're happy to destroy democracy you appear to be happy for millions and billions of people to be unemployed and to be poor untold billions so . your euro dream could continue if you rob people of their identity you rock of

their democracy but a way all their fleet is nationalism and by those countries are now waking up to the reality of the night man that. the euro is a political prison for poor countries such as greece and spain and they need to be liberated from that prison recreate their own currencies have devaluation make their exports cheaper make it easier for tourists to visit their countries and they'll get back in on their feet please i thought you girls it's really spain dominate continue to topple the year a feast will be no you happily ever around and. i think. well fears of a looming default are forcing the e.u. governments to cut spending a british union leader says people refuse to suffer for something they're not responsible for later markets or water tells us how he thinks governments will be

made to listen once hundreds of thousands strike back. the idea is to build pressure so the government realise they're working people the length and breadth of the u.k. i'm not just going to let them get away with what they're doing and we believe that pressure how to make you come force them to change direction the point is to change their mind and saying you won't just when they're having a chat with a few people in a room is one thing saying you won't negotiate when there could be millions of people taking strike action is entirely another and we actually believe that the six million trade unionists plus the thousands and thousands or hundreds of thousands of pensioners and students all becoming a joint campaign is going to be politically very powerful. of course you can watch the full interview with a british trade union leader marks or want to and about twenty minutes time right here on r.t. . as the eurozone debt crisis shock waves spread ratings agencies have put the us

in the firing line as well america is on the verge of reaching its a fourteen point three trillion dollar debt ceiling which means obama and his republican opponents need to strike us with deal before the government runs out of cash in theory and at any rate but economics professor roderick tremblay believes that the debt limit will once again go up as it always has done in american history the united states is not in the same position as any other country this is the country karan sees this news internationally and therefore lee can afford to print more dollars than the euro can only out of parents but that that level is very high they raise the debt ceiling each year it will be raised because the president obama as a practitioner of giving in to the demands of the republicans it did that he did it twice before so the republicans are. expecting that he will do the same it will

take the fall a few days or a few hours before the deadline of august second there could be a similar situation as that happened in one thousand nine hundred four when representative enrich closed the government for a few few days ocean if you are nearly two weeks this held very much to president clinton a bad time to be reelected in one thousand nine hundred six that's what president obama is hoping now that the republicans will be a sore extremist than they in two thousand and twelve next year he may be reelected . witter on in the program with the formula for prosperity. we look at the driving force of boosting india's economy to make it the tenth largest in the world. and another story of success this time a russian orphanage who's become a golf prodigy after being adopted by american parents but his biggest challenge is not in the world of sports but in finding the family he left.

rupert murdoch has apologized for the news of the world phone hacking scandal with full page ads in seven british national newspapers the media mogul is that now working with a team of top p.r. experts before a grilling from british m.p.'s on tuesday made public outrage over illegal accessing of the mobiles of murder and terrorism victims and dead soldiers families and crisis has already forced him to shut the one hundred sixty eight year old newspaper scuttled his bid of four b. sky b. and claims two of his top executives journalist afshin rattansi says however some are set to benefit from the meltdown as murdoch's media empire. the political classes here finally feel freed up for the first time in decades and decades so i don't think appeasing would or could particularly work everyone is watching for tuesday's committee where rupert murdoch and his son james will appear so it'll be

interesting to see that but i think we should remember that the prime minister here with me will probably know today because it's saturday said the truth is we've all been in this together the press politicians and leaders of all parties and yes that includes me for a story indictment for democracy in this country and coming through that i suppose one could say that it was multinationals who are using murdoch in a way so they're lobbying rupert murdoch good for big companies big multinationals and so forth that seem to get things done by helping m.p.'s behind me perhaps not as bad as in washington but i don't think it's the end of outside influences outside on democratic forces as reality influences on the parliamentarians behind me it is interesting that he owned these newspapers and they always say rupert murdoch loves newspapers he basically had newspapers so that he could manipulate monopoly concerns over his broadcast interests which actually did make money unlike newspapers newspapers are just tools of war he has lots of enemies out there he

probably a lot of ammunition to go back at them though thanks to all the muckraking journalists who spent their time. looking at sex scandals really he does have lots of friends one should add but it looks as some m.p.'s have it unbelievable that he has the right to own any form of media in this country about the united states because that's where it gets really interesting the democratic party in congress is a full on party doesn't really have anything any hope left now the president obama has sort of destroyed his reputation warmongering and and his sort of reaganite economic policies as he deals with the deficit the democrats have nothing much to do but they all hate one particular info. until cable channel four news and i'm hearing that if if the nine eleven victims have been hacked by the series of news corp then fox news is finished it took it took the most curious

cases of hacking rather than any kind of a regulator ear a body to be able to get murdoch through finally. to finally overthrow him as it were is an amazing story we'll be. looking for the hollywood blockbuster and as we've heard just there the scandal in britain is now starting to spill over to the u.s. where even bigger trouble could lie ahead for murdoch with reports that phones of the victims of the nine eleven terrorist attacks were hacked charges that could also result in the u.s. over bribing of british police by staff as corruption abroad is illegal for american based companies but is an associate reports the tabloids keep flying off the shelves thirty drugs cheating and lies phony political scandal flashing dirty laundry. celebrity gossip and crime stories almost beyond human imagination. all this is served on a platter and sold for

a couple of quarters by tabloids listen man and how it was something. in the freezer. i thought they were a journalist michael was one of millions falling for the bait of catchy headlines even though he knows the business inside out in america we don't break the law per se but they do have sleazy tactics i mean they will slap a story they probably make up sources and when you read them a source. a source said well who is it. they can just make up a quote themselves and they say joe smith from queen said blah blah blah a lot of times i feel they're just inventing these quotes to back up the thesis of the story fascination with scandal is almost religiously observed in the u.s. and great britain we are both countries in both media environments where gossip sells and there's a tremendous interest in celebrity both countries are of bugs after rupert

murdoch's news of the world newspaper phone hacking shocker broke in london his empire stretches far and wide across the u.s. as well let's not forget he owns the new york post the wall street journal and the daily kind of protest outside murdoch's big apple pad protesters demanded an investigation into this publication that we know what murdoch does in england because he was caught and we want congress to investigate what he's doing here in the united states we don't know if newspapers or other people in this country yet but i see no reason to put it past them to how far from potential public embarrassment to american newspapers stand by the ones that are owned by rupert murdoch without question the new york post. is one of the most hideous deceitful. tools of criminals that there could be when it comes to getting scandal fold in the u.s. counting on the readers short attention span is a common publishing trick jennifer aniston brad pitt got together about forty two

times so far this year and i haven't seen the photographs together since two thousand and six they were able to keep selling and repackaging the same story that isn't even a story no clue cation would admit to paying for. information but that's also off to a technicality what a lot of mainstream news publications can get away with doing is even though they won't explicitly give someone money in exchange for an interview someone might set up a terrible organization and then the news what happened to donate twenty thousand dollars to that terrible organization the culture of some fictional ism in the press is putting the future of journalism on the line the anglo-american style is trashy it's ribald there's just sort of this snickering tone is very american and you know we're a juvenile society where young society i don't really know what they were at six uses i mean they've been around a long time but we blame it on them because we're their children while some will always remain fascinated by tabloids as brides continue to sell others have reached

a breaking point i don't have that great of a sense of what happens in britain but i know it's pretty bad here and there are a lot of people who are really upset about the culture news in america and just how little information seems to get out between all the gossip the press has to be vigilant and in the united states the press has fallen asleep and party new york. has reading newspaper gossip columns has become a daily habit for millions laurie harnessed asks people in new york if the phone hacking scandal surrounding murdoch's media will make them change. how did tabloid journalism become so influential and so popular in today's world this week let's talk about that i mean people like to read about other people's business. you know. newspapers have to try to compete with the internet.

with up to date you know. dirt i think it's absolute trash is no space in this world for it all i hope will go under but they're not going under they're increasing in power i don't believe that this is going to be the biggest takedown ever rupert murdoch is going down i think it's more a pop culture based audience and so the journalists kind of cater to that and in turn it's kind of fun for them to tease secret detectives isn't it terrible i mean it might be fun but it's still criminal acts it's horrible i hate ernest's you know whatever that whatever it takes to get the story whoever they want you know do you do you have that attitude at your job no not at all so what makes journalists special and they're not special they're the opposite of special they have no scruples we have it in them are true because. people. you know they like to end with you they like. but that's not what journalism supposed to pay what's true

but never believe the media's. if it is going to keep getting worse probably do you think journalism like that is bound to spread around the world and become is rampant as it is the britain i do for troy and it really is that journalism i mean there is no logical reason garbage the bottom line is that if the rampant popularity of tabloid journalism in the u.k. is any indication the rest of the world people. paired with their own general to get a lot. of. emergency crews are to use a special crane boat sanda lifting equipment to raise the bulgaria cruise ship from the bottom of the volga river for it's on sunday killing one hundred twenty nine people twenty eight of them children the search operation for fifteen missing bodies continues archies time part reports from the site. the two enormous cranes

behind me have become the process of lowering two cables which will then be threaded underneath the ship and used to write it is currently leading on its left side divers will then be able to go under to check for any of the remaining fifteen bodies that are yet to be found the shores are also being searched for any of those bodies and they also be able to search for the potential damage that caused the dog area to sink they will eventually find that damage as the ship is ready to be raised and not have to seal a sense of the hole to let all the water in and then the other holes and then all the water inside the bulgari will be able to be pumped out making it's light enough to be raised the divers though i've got a difficult task ahead of them with me is. he's from the emergencies ministry undraped could you maybe just tell us a bit about the conditions that the divers are working in. situ.

divers are currently working on the river again but it's really difficult because of visibility basically you can't see anything even if it's right in front of you that's why the tides are preparing to lift the ship up there purely evil to see what they're doing obviously this operation now everyone is waiting especially when it serves on the banks people who have yet to hear from those fifteen will be desperate for news of what has happened to their loved ones and increasingly investigators want to know what caused this ship to sink and sink so fast causing so much tragedy. artie's tom burton reporting for us there now let's turn to some other international news in brief that we're covering for you today. syrian opposition members have been holding meetings in damascus and istanbul to discuss ways of ousting president assad this comes after a massive nationwide protest rocked the country on friday leaving at least thirty two people dead hundreds of thousands of anti-government demonstrators poured onto

the streets of the capital and other cities before facing a crackdown by security forces the government has launched a national dialogue but protesters are demanding president assad steps down. venezuelan little leader hugo chavez has transferred part of his presidential power to the vice president and the minister for finance as you travel to cuba for a new round of cancer treatment he's been given unanimous approval from the national assembly for the trip even from the opposition is a battle with cancer has raised the galaxy over his fitness to leave the country but he insists he still plans to run for reelection next year. despite warnings from china u.s. president barack obama has held a private meeting with the exiled tibetan spiritual leader the dalai lama and chinese government earlier called on the united states to cancel talks saying it would its business relations between the countries the leader will be expected to

discuss the dalai lama's hopes for tibet to be semi-autonomous china has accused him of pushing for full tibetan independence. india has recently become one of the top ten largest economies of the world a key driving force is the willingness of indians to work long hours for low pay doing their western counterparts reports. it's a busy city with busy people india is a rising economic locomotive so what's the driving force behind its success it could very well be the people like when you include now both are co-directors of a small wine import company called divine indians have the go to strong liking for french and spanish impinges young men are working overtime to fill their glasses you have to be very flexible with your working hours. it can be engineers who are going to globalization and because of all you know you're interacting with so many people from abroad especially america or you know europe so we can't we can't be

fixed by means where we can say we're only going to work from nine to five but people in britain for example can and do say that seven spent years working is a business consultant in the u.k. and he says brits watch that clock closely in britain people leave at five o'clock and they won't stay later because i got a train to catch up for many years in britain and yet there is that so people don't work and britain people don't work weekends it's changing a little bit now particularly in periods of economic recession. but generally it's and it's a monday to friday as recently as just two years ago india had a six day long week the government has put in strict regulations regarding legal hours but that doesn't stop people from spending more time in the office than we did notice of the most significant difference between the kind of work culture in india and in britain is the pressure of people around to work above and beyond

their contracted hours. everyone will do this irrespective of really. if there's work to be done if there is a small enterprise to run then all state regulations go to the window if sacrifices equal success then you have to meet them i wasn't ready for seven. working at another level of i work and. i'm an office working because all the first piece things are being organized so our product was alive and it was morning. but may seem a fine example of did occasionally actually not be a drawback in the office environment i think people are expected to do the job or two or three. even though the contract for those might say one thing which isn't always such a good thing because if you work such long hours it's going to affect your performance while europe and the u.s. spend their money on fighting wars and their time on trying to figure out

a way to get out of economic slump india is busy getting things done the indian way oregon is probably the most popular god in the entire hindu pantheon in india he's supposed to bring prosperity and success to those who worship him but the success of indian businessmen should not be a trip to the divine help alone ninety five working hours just don't cut it here in the long hours of hard labor but at the end all of that hard work pays off. new delhi. and for more exciting stories and videos check out our current here's some of what you'll find on our website. a ukrainian a man goes truly while planning to spend over a month a living with a family of lions while blocking about his experience. also online of more than half a ton of radioactive blueberries have been found in moscow stores find out more on the story and similar cases that are. young russian boy has
